      We need to get rid of Salah. His workrate is abysmal. We need another diligent striker like Jota. And we need a CB, hopefully we get Konate. That's it. No need for more. (We could need a playmaker like KDB but there's no decent one available afaik.)



      Your an idiot shut up.

      Salah is a wonderful player. One of the best. The issue is that he's not the most clinical of players. The difference this season is that Mane and Firmino are not scoring. His stats are simply fabulous. He has already scored 25 goals while this team has been awful for months.

      His stats are fabulous because he profits from the workrate of Bobby, Mané, Hendo and Fabinho. That in itself is not a problem. The problem is that I think we could be stronger if we had three strikers to work/press hard instead of two + Salah. He's overrated and I bet if it wasn't for Covid we'd be shopping him around.

      One interesting stat is xG (Expected Goals), if you look on here, https://understat.com/league/EPL, you will see that we are almost always below our xG, even when we win, whereas a team like City is usually above, that makes a huge difference and goes a long way to explaining our difficulties this season.

      Salah is a great forward, but is far too wasteful, Jota is more clinical but has been out for a long time after getting injured in a dead rubber match and the less said about Mane and Bobby the better. I would say that we need to either find out what the F**k is wrong with Mane or sell him, Bobby we should definitely sell now. I would actually be quite tempted to sell Mane, Bobby and Salah and replace them with 2 top notch forwards and 1 potential. Yes it might mean next season in transition but we have to be bold, we have to adapt how we play.

      What's your explanation? Mine is this: we play pretty random near the box, i.e. we play like: get the ball to the opponent's box asap and then make some pass and if we repeat that 30 times, we get 20 shots, 10 of them on the goal, 5 on target, 2 goals and since we only get one goal on average we are winning. Obviously such a style has the benefit that you don't need the best players to play it and you don't waste much time with tatical scripts but it also means that you are dependent from statistical dry spells. City on the other hand plays more methodical around the box. This maximizes their output but it also requires much more costs for better players and more more effort in scripting attacks while in the same time Liverpool can just focus on trying over and over again. Since City got a cheat mode with the sheikhs it gives them a substantial advantage which makes our two previous seasons even more amazing.

      Salah 'overrated'??
      The elite of the football world would pay silly money for his services!

      Your comments get more ludicrous.

      So your idea is to get shut of our current top goalscorer? Are you off your F***ing head or something?

      Thank you Brian, you sound a little surprised. As we both know respect is everthing no matter who fans support. I know that doesn't always happen with the minority. However, prettier sure well over 90% are. Stay safe.

      Never looked at it like that Brian but yeah, that's a fair point. We do have plenty of wums on here though which adequately proves your right.

      Only 21. He looks about 35!

      Never seen him play links are dubious at best.

      We do need a striker though.

      Allan Saint Maxamin looks like a player who would fit fairly well into our system. Newcastle need money too!!! Try and snag that dude up?

      Definitely would be on board with this. Old school dribbler and quick, with an end product.

      Whose down for Luis Suraez to come back? If the money is right i say yes, i know hes 34, but hes an upgrade over Firmino, and hes still a very sound player.

      I'd have him and Coutinho back.
